Loading route and elevation profile…
From Rimbach to Hirtzenstein
The first day passes Judenhut, La Glashütte and Firstacker before the Freundstein and Molkenrain areas and Hartmannswillerkopf. The descent leads to Hirtzenstein.
Back through the Suisse Lippique
The second day reaches the Suisse Lippique and Cantine Zeller, returning towards Rimbach through the Wuenheim, Peternit and Munsteraeckerlé areas. First World War remains are a major part of this walk.
A demanding section beyond the mileage
The tourist-office description identifies steep, rocky ground, high steps and passages through wartime shelters in the Suisse Lippique. Allow enough time and choose this section according to your footing and confidence.
Choose the stage order and overnight stop
The tourist office explains that the two days can be swapped, starting at Hirtzenstein and staying in Rimbach. Book the chosen accommodation and keep map, stage notes and GPX direction consistent.
